Timothy Whelan - Books & Prints

Clyde and Tim in his book store

The book store, Timothy Whelan - fine photographs, books & prints, is paradise for any photographer, but for a bookaholic like me, I was in seventh heaven!

George DeWolfe suggested we stop at Timothy's store and check it out. The book store only has photographic books, with most of them being used and rare books. If you are looking for a book, I'm pretty sure Timothy either has it, or can find it for you. Clyde and I had a hard time leaving the store. We were there for three hours! Between getting to know Timothy and going through the books...we walked out with half the store! Well, it felt $ like we did anyway! Ahhh...but they are such wonderful books. We justified it by telling ourselves that it might be another several years before we make it back to Maine and get this opportunity again. We also bought a black and white print...

If you'd love to have a great experience in a photographic book store, this is the place. He is located in Rockport Maine. Phone: (207) 236-4795

About Me

CLYDE BUTCHER
Clyde Butcher’s black and white photographs explore his personal relationship with the environment. The exquisite beauty and depth of his work draw the viewer into a relationship with nature. For more than thirty-five years, he has been preserving on film the untouched areas of the landscape. His images are captured with an 8”x 10” , 11”x 14” and 12”x 20” view camera. The large format camera allows him to express the elaborate detail and textures that distinguish the intricacy of the landscape. His photographs range in sizes from 8x10 inches to 5x8 feet.
NIKI BUTCHER
Niki Butcher's hand-painted photographs bring another dimension to black and white photography. By hand-painting her photographs they become an artist's unique view of the magnificent as well as the jocular side of life. Her images range in size from 11x14" to 30x40".
